    I had a new battery installed and since the air condition only blows out on my feet. I have heard that this is has been an issue with several owners. Have you run across this and any ideas how to fix it? (Fuses have been checked, and the battery has been disconnected and reinstalled)

    After battery went dead and new one was installed, only heat came out driver side even when air conditioner on. Also dashboard vents not working. Not fixed yet, shop still trying to figure out what the problem is.

    My heating and A/C only blows out of the floor and top vents. Does not blow out of front vents. When the heat is on the vents become cold and warm.

    Upper air was erratic then went out and only lower air would work. Was very expensive to get fixed.

    Battery was replaced by Sears, only now the Air Conditioning and outside vent air only blows at the bottom and defrost vents on dash and sides but never through the front passenger and rear passenger vents. Fuses were checked at the engine compartment and under the rear seat. Could this be a relay also located with the fuses?

    Similar problem as everyone else is describing, plus A/C quick working completely. Had a few actuators replaced, but I guess there's 4+ that need to be replaced. Once those few actuators were replaced, air started to come back out the floor and defrost vents, but never the front vents. Now, within the past 2 days, heat will not kick on except for the rear vents.
